rocket explodes; fuel rains down

[sandsifter149]

AN Anomally....??..Bit of an understatement I would say..

[drchen054]

@sandsifter149 I think it was attempt to not freak people out.

[BlackJesusENT]

Nothing that duct tape can't fix.

[CaptainCrammit]

how do they know the crack wasnt there before the explosion? and if they did know, why did they let it go? sounds like bullshit... "This is the last time we're gonna cover your ass, Johnson!!"

[jimmyvbs]

best firework show

[rkehoe99]

thank you for clicking the self destruct button

what the??

BOOOOOOM!!!

[StarfishHeat]

PK STARSTOOOOOORM!

[SkyyCaptainn]

LOL it fucking exploded and the lady anouncer says we just had an anomaly like it was some slight software glitch or something minor.

[BunWackettBuzzard]

I fried my steak in the flaming crater, and yes it was lovely.

[mitchamus]

From now on - every time I break something I will say

"we have had an anomaly"

[PhenExMachina]

And people still wonder why we don't put nuclear waste on a rocket and shoot it into space!

[number154]

This one wasn't manned.

[txmusician13]

I don't think these rockets carry people

thats what the space shuttle is for!

[gopherbar]

I love that " erm we have an anomaly" lol i think you can call that an explosion love!

[spleenblender]

That was one of the most awesome sights I've seen online.

[danielbradshaw123]

"Hey isnt that a 17 foot long crack on the side of it?"

"Na, it will be fine..."

[Supermegaman737]

its july 11th, nothing happened

[FearlessSpinner]

No one was harmed so i can consider this extremely awesome but expensive

[Mowelus]

the rain of death....

[Conaan70]

lol only a 17 foot long crack. how do you miss that?

[BSBrando]

man imagine being some iraqi, and seeing that shit raining down all over your village, they'd shit their pants and probably surrender lol

[Freddan0]

You are very stupid my man.

[BSBrando]

LOL! I'm just saying, it would be a very effective weapon, and make everyone piss their pants(Wouldn't be worth the money probably, just get a nuke)

[RoxasChronicles]

...Is it just me or does the fuel falling down look beautiful? It looks like it's raining stars! -goes into a happy trace-

I saw this at 5am on MOST DARING on Virgin1. xD

[anon32016]

Oh, so THAT's what an anomaly looks like! No wonder my science teacher keeps warning us for them...

[santoshiom]

why is that always in these awesome video moments shown on tv, no one is ever hurt. Quite cocky i should say.

[manny88448]

She sounds cocky in the beginning. That blast sure was a 'tude adjuster. It looked beautiful though, as terrible as it was.

[Zigster92]

That's Awesome!

I love explosions...

[Jandjproductionscrew]

"what does this button do?"

My bad

[boxeaterzrus]

oops.

[BOYOFtheBOYS]

not real

[makeudrippdropp]

it is real, how old are you , when that happened, about 3

[JumpShotHero]

I know it LOOKS fake, but its not. It from a TV show and people wouldnt make that up

[HoopUte]

Absolutely real. I know someone who was there.

[Sofar2]

Jesus Christ in heaven, that must have been expensive.

[jmcculfor]

"We just had an anomaly" yeah, your whole rocket just blew to smithereens, I'd call that an anomaly!

[theeggrules]

robohomo765, Oh yeah Iceland is going places. HAA HAA Iceland the land of Technology. HAA HAA

[MESsamus]

oh my god.... that's insane

[mindtriplx]

is the satellite all right?

[sranelson]

No, the satellite was obliterated!

[mindtriplx]

really? Are you sure?....what might have given that away?

[robohomo765]

17 foot crack in one of the boosters... that's America for you.

[shepardw1]

Yup robo, that's America for ya. You've clearly got the entire US figured out, based on this one incident. Perhaps NASA should follow the lead of Iceland's long-standing and highly sophisticated space program to ensure something like this doesn't happen again.

[SmileyCyrusMusic]

omg when i saw that i just like tensed up! holy crap, no one injured, god was watching over them!!!!

[damperdan111]

How is a 17 FOOT crack overlooked?

[Noctune9]

It could have been a millimeter wide (or even less).

[michaelgill42]

yup and does any1 realize that NASA looks for things THAT SMALL..... if they find a crack that small the flight would have been delayed for months.... BUT it probably showed up just as teh launch began

[KING1307]

yes because milk, honey or clorine can give the same power and punch as rocket fuel

[thErusteDbunnY]

what about mentos and diet coke?

[t4705mb6]

They should have used milk, honey and chlorine.

[skinboy8]

That's some "anomaly"!

[AskTheJustin]

LOL its chaos gultch from halo CE xD

[C0l1ink516]

they knew there was a huge crack before they launched it but they just said "fuck it i dont feel like doing any more work just launch it anyway"

[gingcoonsback]

rofl wish i could do that (big explotions).

"dont worry guys the 17' crack wont do shit"...BLAM...."fuck"

[fubar123456]

17 foot long crack?! Don't people check for that kind of stuff before they launch?

pretty colors.....

[j4m3sb0ndfx]

Giant firework. :D

[freezerGirl]

how did they know there was a crack in the booster

[TheParsonsNose]

When was this?

[sandcrab132]

i remember this, i was only about 5 or 6. This now reminds me of the city of Dresden in world war II, where they incendiary bombed the entire city and made a column of flame that went into the stratosphere and melted just about all the metal and glass in the city.

[johnboy1933]

krangelus, that video is not fake, if you came out of your mothers basement for other reason than your 40th birthday youd know about it. Asshole

[krangelus]

Fake.

[marcopasta]

y do dipshits always leave "fake" when they see a vid?

[insanlydisturbed]

r u fucking dumb its says cape canveral. near where i live this actually happened want to know how i know this bc its real and i'm not retarted like u

[mhirtes12]

Where's the part where you see "FILMED IN SUPERMARIONATION" across the screen?

[TangBaBa]

So that's what an "anomaly" looks like.

[sandcrab132]

well the anomoly was one of the boosters (the one with the crack) not firing, so all the fuel was just sitting there with an open ignition source nearby in the booster. It didnt go gradually like it should, it all went at once and killed the rocket. Shame...

[DestroyerX61]

very expensive fireworks show

[mikerash]

looks like russia

[Chiaki777]

Cape Canaveral is in Florida. I'm more concerned with when.

[redbeast2]

NASA's Kennedy launch area is in Florida.

[FrankLeeStrange]

Great Balls of Fire!! What a great video! And not a snuff movie. I wish we had more information on dates and places etc. Very dramatic, I don't recall seeing that on the news.

[kadaosw]

the place french guyana when ?

[Zombiesasquatch]

Holy shit!!!

[Chiaki777]

when was this?

[tedsam1963]

January 17, 1997
